“MHAKA TUJI GOROZ NAAM” Tiatro written and directed by Jenny de Germany was staged on 18th of this month at Kala Academy A/C Hall, Panjim, starting at 10.30 AM. It was thinly attended by the audience. Musical score was nicely provided by Anthony de Velim and his troupe.

The story was very meaningful related to the very many current happenings in our community where unfaithful husbands leaving their wedded wives and go after their concubines thereby destroying their own married life as well as that of theirs concubines. This is what exactly shown in this Tiatro by Jenny de Germany. It is a double sin and a double curse where the God’s punishment is the most severe though it may not be immediately but surely ultimately.
The other aspect shown in this Tiatro was the mistake many Gulf employed Goans make by surrendering their wealth into the hands of their wives who finally desert their husbands and leave them on the streets.

The play was enacted by all the competent artistes males and females though they all were not well known professionals nor heavyweights, most of them were new faces and being so they deserve highest compliments for performing their roles so well. Jenny’s selection of these artistes was excellent and all of them will be a good asset to the Konkani Stage.
As per the available information, a year back Jenny de Germany booked the well-known artistes for this Tiatro but to her surprise at the eleventh hour they refused to honour their promise and as a challenge she got a new group which proved to be a talented and successful. Inspite of being a woman, Jenny de Germany spared no stone unturned to make this Tiatro a success. Currently it is being staged all over Goa and of course to the delight of the audience. This Tiiatro gives a very good lesson to those unfaithful husbands who by leaving their real wives are keeping concubines and yet shamelessly moving in society.

Since this Tiatro conveys a very good moral lesson, the Church in Goa must make a point to stage it all over Goa thru the local Pe. Vigars because what Church cannot preach Jenny de Germany preached thru this Tiatro. But will our Pe. Vigars come forward for this? I doubt very much because many of our Pe. Vigars themselves are guilty of the sin called Concubinage as they are having Concubines not only in ones and in twos but in dozens because easy money flowing in their hands without any hard work.
In the comedy roles, Jenny de Germany excelled very well and she was ably supported by Ortencio and Jalu while in the main Play Anjela, Bushan and Antonette played their roles extremely well. Even though she resides in Germany yet Jenny de Germany showed lot of maturity by acting like a seasoned artiste. She is as good as any of the seasoned Goa based professional artistes. Like a captain in the Cricket team, she played her captain's inning very well.
Regarding the side show songs, in the absence of topmost singers this part of the Show did not rise to the expected level and because of this there was not much thrill in the hall.
